Typical lazy surface journalism. She (Catherine Legge) contacted me
having gotten my e-mail address from the now defunct Toronto Classic
Computer Collectors web-page or an article written about us in a local
computer paper. I imagine others there were also contacted but given
what she finally produced, who knows. Pretty easy research.
I responded encouragingly but never heard from her again. I guess it was
easier to pull stuff off Jim's site than to do a real story about Canadian
collectors. Another Puffball posing as a journalist.

Oh well...
With all the exposure of computer collecting I guess this will shot the
price of vintage stuff on ebay up!!! (lol!)
Well it's a canadian show and they did not come and see me...I think it's
even based in Montreal, but I am not sure. But then again my collection is
kinda small compared to this guy...but then again, I don't really collect
X86 and compatibles...unless they are something outta the ordinary....
I think it will be broadcast again this week, I will try to grab it...and
tape it...heck, maybe even try to transfer it to a file or something....I
think I have somekinda video grab card for a MAC called a Moonraker here
somewhere...but where?
I can only imagine perhaps the weird and odd machines I might have been
offered for free with the exposure of going on TV...oh well...there is
always my "patato chip in the shape of animals" collection that might get me
on
the tube...or my "survivor - in the space station" application...counting on
that too....
Life goes on up north...and it's finally hot and the pool is ready...
